hrough Week 3, Graham has 23 receptions for 358 yards and four TDs. Although three games is a small sample size and it would seem unlikely for Graham to keep up this pace, the Saints TE is on track to catch 123 passes for 1,909 yards and 21 TDs this season. However, this record-setting pace is possible for Graham because (by his standards) he had a subpar game in Week 1 for New Orleans with only four receptions for 45 yards.

Although New Orleans QB Drew Brees is known for spreading the ball around to all the Saints offensive skill players, Jimmy Graham has clearly become his signal caller's favorite target. Graham's size makes it impossible for small defensive backs to cover him and linebackers are too slow to keep pace with him in coverage. As long as Jimmy Graham and Drew Brees stay healthy, the Saints TE is almost certain to break multiple NFL records this season.

Take a closer look at three NFL records that New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham is on pace to break.
